Asking in genuine good faith: when you see politicians that abuse their power to this extent, how is your argument that they need more power through either socialism or communism? How would giving them that kind of control improve anything?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Politicians serve who controls them, ie who funds them. The idea isn't to take an existing Capitalist state and add a bunch of state power, but to restructure the state and economy along proletarian democracy, ie worker councils and whatnot.

Socialism isn't giving Capitalist politicians control, but giving workers control of the state and economy.
